Air Jordan 1 Satin “Shattered Backboard” To Drop on May 5

Set to join the ranks of resell royalty, the Air Jordan 1 Satin “Shattered Backboard” will be quite the drop for Jordan fans and resale opportunists alike.

On par with beloved classic colourways, the “Shattered Backboard” edition of the Air Jordan 1 took the sneaker world by storm in 2015, with resell prices hovering around the S$900-S$1,000 mark in recent months.

The added Satin makeover of the pair is likely to fetch even more, given how the Satin Royals performed when it was released last year.

Regardless, the upcoming Air Jordan 1 Satin “Shattered Backboard” is a sight to behold, with its embroidered Swoosh, sewn on Air Jordan logo on the ankle, high-quality tumbled leather throughout its upper and the satin finish on the toe box.

This upcoming pair, which is set for a May 5 release, also features a translucent orange outsole at the bottom.

There is a twist to the tale, of course, as the pair will be a women’s exclusive – that’s right, women’s sizing. Don’t fret if you’re a guy though, as sizes run all the way to a women’s 12, which equates to a men’s 10.5.
